What is Other Transaction (OT) Authority

An Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) is an acquisition instrument which allows the Government to enter into transactions “other than” standard contracts, grants and cooperative agreements. Put simply, OTA enables the DoD to function more like business.

CEED also collaborates with the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) under its own OTA agreement, providing an accelerated acquisition process for cutting-edge technologies. This partnership allows us to quickly deliver innovative solutions that enhance the Marine Corps’ operational readiness and capabilities, meeting the unique needs of the Marines in the field.
